First Look at the Villain in ‘Thor: The Dark World’ with New Pictures

Not to be outdone by other tentpole movies this year, Thor: The Dark World is trying to gain as much of the spotlight as possible. Although the comic book-inspired film will release November 8, 2013 – a time usually not reserved for “blockbusters” – Marvel continues to push out marketing.

The latest included five new images from the film. The important part is the emergence of the new villain, played by Christopher Eccleston (BBC’s Doctor Who). The film returns Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Tom Hiddleston. It’ll be directed by Alan Taylor (HBO’s Game of Thrones).

Jordan, who currently resides in Seattle, WA, has slowly become a film fanatic over the past couple of years. He attributes his love for film to the smash hit THE DARK KNIGHT which has created an (un)healthy obsession with both Christopher Nolan and the Batman franchise. Although he appreciates all genres of film, his favorite movies are typically psychological thrillers, with an emphasis on non-traditional narratives.
